Songs of Ascent not dead according to Bono
Bono has given a huge hint that the Songs of Ascent album may just happen yet. He said to U2.com:
“We’re working on three albums at the moment and we haven’t decided what order we’re going to put them out but The Songs of Ascent have the kind of beautiful intimacy that we’re speaking of now. They fit into this moment, the mode of some of these artists that I was hanging out with on Christmas Eve.”
That’s a very interesting comment as the last we heard about the project was from Adam Clayton who told Q magazine that the project was pretty much dead: “We thought there was more material left over from No Line… we now feel a long way from that material.”
So what has realllllly changed? Nothing. Nothing’s in concrete.
